Call it a 3.5 Star Average The upsides... Looks beautiful. Excellent texturing and nice work to make the dragon not look 'flat'. My pl [...]

Purchased this tower and enthusiastically built it. Slight challenge to building it, but came out pretty darned good. That said, would like to have had options for dragon colors. Would love to build a few for my players, but the dragon only comes in [...]

While I enjoyed very much the exterior design of the tower, I'm not a big fan of the interior design. The dice don't roll as well as in the other Dice Tower from FDG. I had to cut a wider space in the holes at the bottom so the dice will roll out more [...]

The positive: When assembled, this is a gorgeous, eye catching piece of papercraft. It has definite wow factor and looks great sitting on any table. The neutral: This is a challenging project which will take both talent and patience to accuratel [...]

I've been watching Fat Dragon Games' online website for some time now. A friend gave me the disk for The Ultimate GM Screen II, partly because he couldn't build it and I have an awesome printer, so I gave it my best college try and built it. Not bad [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
